  1. Both are totally hilarious and right on for anyone who's ever had a cat or dog or both.
  2. I'm catching up on my DVR backlog and am in the middle of Ep 4. Please tell me this season gets better. So far it's been nothing but death porn (not that there's anything wrong with that), boring characters and horrible acting (one thing you've always had to give this show was that it was chock full of interesting freaks), and a pointless script, if there ever was one. I had high hopes seeing Mitch Pileggi in the opening credits. How long was he onscreen? 35 seconds? C'mon guys - cheer me up. So far this season is worse than Cult - and that's saying a lot.
  3. "Like sands through the hourglass..." My gramma adored that show. 88? Wow.
  4. Thanks for the memories! In high school we had "girls counselors" who would patrol the halls looking for fashion crimes. At the time a lot of us were wearing skirts with inverted pleats in the front and the counselors (one of whom had the utterly fabulous name of Marthella Spinneweber) would stop us and poke a ruler in our pleats to make sure we weren't wearing /gasp/ culottes.
  5. Of course it's been ridiculous. I was in high school when all girls were required to wear skirts. My friends would ask me to follow them upstairs to tell them if they "were showing". Can you even imagine?
  6. Thanks for the clarification! When the spot airs (which is all the time) I have to avert mine eyes oh Lord and stick my fingers is my ears and go "La La La"
  7. What is with that creepy commercial of someone who looks like The Wicked Witch of the West and a little kid with her face painted like a cat? I can't recall the product they're pushing, which is a big fail in advertising.
  8. Oh yeah.Decades ago when my mother worked for doctors our house was full of notepads, free samples, refrigerator magnets. You name it.
  9. I absolutely loved "Maude" and named my cat after her. One of the most hilarious lines ever was when Maude said "Vivian and I are going to (what's her name's) funeral. Are you coming?" Without looking up from his newspaper, Walter responded "No. I'm not hungry."
  10. Me too. High blood pressure. But I never liked it anyway so I have an excuse not to eat it.
  11. Awesome actor. One of those guys you mention to your significant other and they go "Who?" until they see his picture and then they go "HIM!!!"
  12. Should I rewatch this ep while fully awake? I didn't recognize most of the characters when I was knocked out from boredom
  13. Me too! I have no problem watching zombies and too-stupid-to-live humans get taken down, but not Shiva and horseys!!! I guess Bambi scarred me for life at age five.
  14. Well, we're back to the usual Angel Kang crap. I fell asleep, and I couldn't wait for the return of the series.
  15. Thank you for the heads up! I'm now watching the most glorious awful movie in the history of cinema - The Towering Inferno. Jennifer Jones plunging to her death from the 135th floor with her amazing Liz Taylor wig intact. Awesome. OK I've got to keep this on topic. They eat and drink a ton in this movie. Anne and Bobby must be in the background as extras.
  16. Seriously, guys, I could not get through this episode with the moronic Ms. American Constantly Chirping Cheerleader and Mr. Hairy Armpits If you want, tell me who won. Meanwhile I'll watch reruns of American Horror Story. (I fell in the shower this morning and am feeling really pissy!)
  17. This finale was one big fat eyeroll. Could we possibly get more gimmicky? Oh, wait...isn't the 154th season of Survivor due soon?
  18. OK, I'm back. Was Joe's ugly purple suit way too tight or is that the style nowadays? Every time I saw Gordon's blond upsweep do I yelled "Dondi!" (Ancient comic strip reference for you young uns) Food plated on a book? Nick, you got away with the mixer stunt but this was simply pointless and not the least clever. The producers gave the game away with Sarah's talking head saying confidently she aced it. Now on to American Horror Story, which doesn't look promising but has got to be better than this.
  19. Here's my takeaway from the awesomeness fabulous season of MC evah!!!!! Why did we have to view Chipmunk Cheeks Shaun in the balcony? There isn't enough eye bleach in the world. Other than that I really didn't care a rat's patootie about who won.
  20. Sure. He was a no nonsense news guy who always signed off with "Sander Vanocur...NBC News" escribed as "one of the country's most prominent political reporters during the 1960s,"[4] Vanocur served as White House correspondent and national political correspondent for NBC News in the 1960s and early 1970s.[5] He was one of the questioners at the first Kennedy-Nixon debate in 1960 and was also chosen as one of the questioners in the 1992 presidential debate[6] as well as one of NBC's "four horsemen," its floor reporters at the political conventions in the 1960s—the other three were John Chancellor, Frank McGee, and Edwin Newman.[7] While White House correspondent during the Kennedy administration, Vanocur was one of the first reporters to publicly ask Kennedy to justify the failure of the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Vanocur also dubbed Kennedy's coterie the "Irish mafia."[8] Later, Vanocur covered the 1968 United States presidential election in which Robert F. Kennedy was assassinated. Vanocur, who had interviewed Kennedy on June 4, 1968, shortly before the Democratic candidate was shot, reported on the incident from The Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles, California, for the entire night. On the final night of the Republican National Convention in Miami Beach, during a convention-wrapping Thursday night round-table discussion with his fellow NBC floor reporters in the vacated folding chairs on the convention hall floor, Vanocur suggested that the Republicans had "kissed off the black vote" in 1968, a comment which caused a media uproar in the ensuing week.[citation needed] Vanocur also served as host of First Tuesday, a monthly newsmagazine that premiered in 1969 and continued after Vanocur left the network.[9] His work at NBC earned him a place on the Nixon administration's "enemies list". After leaving NBC in 1971, Vanocur worked for PBS and as a television writer for The Washington Post. He joined ABC News in 1977 and worked there until 1991, holding various positions, including Chief Diplomatic Correspondent, Senior Correspondent in Buenos Aires, and anchor for Business World, the first regularly scheduled weekly business program. He covered the 1997, 1998, and 1999 World Economic Summits and was Chief Overview Correspondent during the 1980 and 1984 presidential elections. In 1984, Vanocur moderated the Vice Presidential debate between incumbent George H. W. Bush and Congresswoman Geraldine Ferraro. He made a cameo appearance as himself in the movie Dave and was one of the major performers, again playing himself, in the sci-fi television special Without Warning as one of the main news anchors linking the various scenes together. Vanocur hosted two of the History Channel's primetime series: Movies in Time and History's Business.
  21. Sander Vanocur died age 91. NBC News. He was from my hometown of Cleveland.
  22. Oh, they did NOT kick off Father Adam and keep the cheerleader. My only reason for watching. Stupid show. Damn cookies.
  23. I simply couldn't take Liz Plank's motormouth at the end of the show. After the break they went straight to Stephanie Ruhle without any byebyes from Joe's panel.
